Abstract
Renaissance in Italy and spread in Europe (906 -1003 AH / 1500-1594 AD)
One of the main aspects of the Italian Renaissance movement is geographical exploration and the resulting
discovery of the New World and the organization of new shipping routes across the oceans and seas.
Italy has gained great importance because of its geographical position. They are located of the Mediterranean Sea
which gave importance, where the oldest civilizations on the beaches and centers of trade and was a link between the
East and the West.
The first thing the Renaissance in Italy emerged was a cultural movement that began in the late medieval Italy and
then spread to Europe, where it witnessed a boom in literature and a rise in learning and development of
drawing, and educational reform. Politically it contributed to the multiplicity of diplomatic treaties between states.
And in the field of science historians believe that this transition intellectual excelled technical developments and
contributions of intellectuals, and the study of ancient manuscripts, where the churches and monasteries replete
with a myriad of these manuscripts. The ruling families in the Italian cities funded search for manuscripts and buy
them until this phenomenon has become a common feature among the prominent Italian city governments turned to
intense competition among them. And also led site Italy to the recovery of trade and prosperity commercial
cities between west and east across the Mediterranean to make European cities littoral experiencing an economic
prosperity helped to exchange ambassadors and consuls with countries with which it has business relations, making
them compete with each other to take care of the artists, writers and scientists .
And I will discuss to the emergence of the academies of science and receive in Italy and spread.
What are the factors and characteristics of the Italian Renaissance and the most important manifestations and
pinpointed the most important cultural, literature and art, and the political and economic terms as well.
Introduction:
Historians agree that the Renaissance in Europe, had begun at the end of the fourteenth century, when
Europeans began studying science and knowledge of Greek and Arabic, and they have an active exploratory
geographical movements, followed by the study of natural and social phenomena.
The European renaissance movement revives the ancient heritage, and development in arts, literature, science and
studies. This was accompanied by a change in the foundations of the political, social, religious and economic life.
In the middle Ages the clergy dominated the various affairs of life, as religious scholars, intellectuals and fought
(1
), and monopolized the leadership of the community, which then spread superstition and ignorance, have not
benefit people in Latin, because it was monopolized by the clergy range. Papermaking or printing art was not (2
) in
that time has been discovered (3
). That is why the European communities was underdeveloped and suffer under the
feudal system, and suffer the scourge of feudal wars and political fragmentation.
It is clear from that there was no room for the individual to innovate or invent, but were traditions and customs
prevailing crash every desire aims to arrive at the truth, and it was difficult that the church will continue to control
people's thinking.

At the same time the European Renaissance emerged contradiction of modern philosophy of the Middle Ages,
and make sure human right and its role in life.
Why Renaissance began in Italy?
Range of political, economic, geographic and social events appeared, made the Renaissance begins in Italy before
other European countries, and this change is taking time to appear like other international changes that
distinguished it from other countries.

It has become the Italian renaissance characteristics and manifestations, which influenced the movement to
revive ancient studies and modern languages, which spread to the outside Italy, and this is reflected in the desire for
renewal in fine arts, from photography and sculpture and architecture, led to the spread in Europe, and considered
this introduction movement that led statements to the emergence of geographical movement, and religious
reform, and gathered all of these factors to
lead to the control of Europe on the world (1
).
Called this era the era of the individual appearance, and the era of literature and art, and transformation and
construction, geographical, scientific, and the new world and the statements, and violation of laws and ethical
traditions, bringing the Italian Renaissance is the era of the new changes that have been affected by the European
society in general (2
) These changes led to the emergence of religious doctrines new are not subject to papal, but this
national literature emerged in Italy, France and England independent of ancient Latin literature, which prevailed
in the Middle Ages. Moreover, the princes authority and feudal weakened and spent them, and increased industry
growth at the time, and appeared new ways, such as: the compass and the astrolabe, and used mobile machines that
facilitated traffic and moving the
ships; all of which helped to uncover new trade routes is not known at the time, also helped to discover the spherical
Earth (3
). The printing which facilitated the spread of science and knowledge and literature among European
countries invention, and appeared so capitalism freed from the church restrictions, and based on the strong
foundations to invest their money in trade and wealth creation (4
), and the emancipation so all of the economic and
social systems in all their forms and their
forms.

Italy deployed in the study of science and arts of Greeks and Romans, also spread Greek and Romanian culture in
works of art and literature, and were called the Heritage Classic.
This was knowledge and science are missing in Europe and moved to it by the Arabs who were transferred
most of Greek and Romanian science, knowledge and inventions, and they append to it, which was the cause of the
emergence of the Renaissance in Italy, then spread in Europe, known as the revival of antiquity or the revival of
knowledge, and appeared between the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries, and named after
the Renaissance, new ideas were not acceptable to the general public, but it proved its impact on future generations
ranging from art and literature to the political and historical education and science (1
).All of this led to the Italian
Renaissance, and influenced by European peoples, and these changes have taken a path in various areas of life
moved to different countries of the world.
The role of Islamic civilization in the European Renaissance:
Romania since the fall of the Western Empire prevailed in Europe scientific decadence and denial of human value,
and the abolition of the right to aspire to the best, and then the church helped him to the denial of self-reliance.
That was left of civilization and science in Europe only a few scientists, and since the late fifteenth century took
the Islamic civilization crawl toward Europe, across three main roads are: Sicily, Andalusia, and the countries of the
Near East (2
).
Islamic civilization has contributed to a significant role in the fields of science and thought, medicine, astronomy,
marine science, and the Islamic civilization centers scattered all over the place, and the closest to Europe
universities of Andalusia in the West, and the universities of Sicily and Tunisia in the middle, and the
universities of Egypt and Syria in the eastern Mediterranean. This advanced centers were in the Islamic civilization
surrounding Italy from every direction, was able Italians have access to these universities with ease, became a
scientific and cultural
communication between the East and the West centers, and a delegation to this many of the students of
European countries centers to receive the flag where (1
), and helped This is the growing importance of the Italian
commercial ports. however the Muslim Arabs of Andalusia, was transferred during their stay in a long period of
various sciences and knowledge of time and arts of human life in agriculture, industry and trade and modern
methods, and the city of Toledo was the first for the
transfer of Islamic culture to Europe Center (2
).
However country's Near East and friction with Europe, especially during the Crusades, its impact was evident in
this civilization. Among the most famous examples of the transfer of the Islamic civilization to Europe, is King
Roger II when he asked the Muslim scientist to draw a map of the world, and to make anthropomorphic of the Earth
(3
).
The headquarters of the papacy:
Was papal headquarters in Rome a catalyst for the prosperity of the Italian Renaissance, and had a major impact in
the hearts of Italians, they felt religious control of the rest of Europe, parts, and achieved financial gains due to the
presence papacy in their country, and the functions of the church of their share, and paid them large sums of money
(4
).
So it was the Italians are the most people mixing with men of the church, as they were the most critical of the
clergy, and did not creep fear in them from the church threats, were from earlier peoples in eliminating restrictions
in the Middle Ages, making them accept the study of ancient sciences, literature and arts freely (5
).
Latin language was another reason for the start of the Renaissance in Italy, as it should be on everyone to learn.
However national language was the language of the national domestic communication only.

Whoever wants to learn from the people he can do so only through the Latin language, which is the language of the
universities, there is no student in the university accepted unless it is proved that the Latin language is correct and
sound (1
).And language are deployed in Italy, and contributed to the emergence of the Renaissance before other
European countries, and remained Scientific and Cultural Organization language to be alerted Europeans to the need
to use the national language spoken by most of the people, has been to encourage some European governments of
national languages and the enthusiasm of some writers on copyright a large impact on the dissemination of culture
between classes of people. And it formed so the mother languages of the peoples of Europe the current languages,
such as French and English languages, and other languages
(2
).
Social and economic terms in the country:
Central ages characterized with feudal system. Land was distributed among the nobles and princes. There was no
middle class, which is the basis for any country, it has been divided into two layers of society in the Middle Ages,
and they are: nobles and princes have all power in the country, and the layer of the poor peasants who pay taxes
for those on a permanent basis
The dissolution of feudalism:
Feudal system ended in the Renaissance because of the death of a large number of princes, feudal lords in the
Crusades, and the departure of some of them to practice trade, so the peasants was freed from the yoke of the feudal
system, a nd the back of the concept of independent modern states, with the national entity in France, England
and Spain, and interested Kings to strengthen the country and the army and fleet, and gunpowder used in the
construction of military forces do not strengthen to
it feudal lords, and worked to destroy the bastions of feudal lords and thei strongholds, even weakened (1),
and they could not resist the changes that took place as a result of the Renaissance in Italy.

The emergence of the modern state:
It evolved modes of governance in modern states, and helped the emergence of new ideas of thinkers such as
Machiavelli (2
) Italian, and John Rodin French, English and Hobbs. Wealth has flowed resulting from major
geographical discoveries, and took advantage of Spain and Portugal, gold and silver mines in the Americas, then the
middle class supported the Kings on the establishment of security and order, and the elimination of feudal system,
and has grown the local languages; all of which were effective in the modern European countries (3
).
The revival of the old studies:
Latin Studies dominated the minds of many Europeans, have found most of the folders in churches and monasteries,
and then embarked on the study and translated into local languages, thus opening the door of knowledge to the
general public. And competed in order to obtain the maximum amount of these manuscripts and these
sciences (4
).
All this has led to the emergence of scientific discoveries and the emergence of the natural sciences, where several
scientific discoveries and expanded the scope of scientific discrimination at the time appeared, and people went
ideas about the universe even further.
In addition, it spreads new cities that contributed to the transmission of the European society of the feudal
system, which was based on agriculture, to business and intellectual friction (1
). This is because the whole to the
site Italy in the middle of the Mediterranean, which has on its shores oldest civilizations and nations and
knowledge, where the Mediterranean trade exchange between the countries in the world center, which earned Italy
a commercial and economic importance, cultural, political, and that trade has been active between the Italian
countries and has grown its industry, because they occur on the lines of international trade, Then become focal
points between the country of Europe and the country bordering the east and west of the Sea basins (2
), it has led
to the richness of its cities, such as Venice (3
),
Genoa (4
), Florence (5
),Milan (1
), Naples (2
), and Pisa *, thanks to the site Italy geographical become closer
than others to Constantinople, the Byzantine capital of the ancient capital of the state of those that had a lot of
Greeks scientists migrate to Italy professors and thinkers, and also was going science students in Italy to
Constantinople to the study of Greek language and literature and arts, and then return to Italy. This is due to
the entire site Italy geographical, Which helped her to be a forum of scientists and science students and a meeting
point of Sciences of the most mutual science of creativity, writing, and prosperity of knowledge from all over
the place (3
), all led to the interest in the study of Arts and Sciences, and became Italy since that time more
famous state in Europe a fter the completion of
unity and increased love of Italian art for life and passion for it; because of the economic prosperity and the beauty
of nature, as people infatuated with music, dance, songs, photography, sculpture and architecture (4
), and returns all
this to the Italian head start in the Renaissance as a result of getting employed and its monopoly of the
Eastern trade and transfer of these goods from the Levant and Egypt dealers to Italian cities.
The military life differs from the artistic life of the unwillingness of people to attend, and the Italians
adopted the mercenary soldiers from the Germans and the Swiss.
Although there is no specific date for the emergence of these changes or the transition from the Middle Ages
to modern times (5
), but it can be determined from centuries (14-16), especially after the fall of Constantinople
in 857 AH / 1453,

2 Machiavelli (1469-1527): grew up in Florence, was careful from a young age to educate himself historical and
political culture, has been included in the government positions in Florence, until he became a secretary to the
administrative relations between the cities of Florence, it has been involved in many political works commissioned by
the government when he was Secretary of State. Made several political tasks outside of Florence, and especially in
France during the reign of Louis XII (died 1504), benefited greatly from these political tasks access to the secrets of
European politics and international relations. And then discharged to compose his book ((Prince)), within which all his
ideas about the origins of the art of governance policy, and spread his views in a number of European countries in the

traders large sums of money, and became senior traders are influential people in the city, where there was a ten
Council who is elected governor, and enjoyed the Republic under this system, the stability not enjoyed by its
neighbors, until he became a high profile at the Italian States at the time. But this commercial supremacy did not last

where scientists have fled to Italy, bringing with them the heritage Greeks and Romans.
Thus was the Italian cities are the only source of the European renaissance, and aided by three major factors,
namely:
1. survival effects of Romanian civilization in the Italian peninsula since the Middle Ages, in spite of what has
happened in the country from deteriorating after the collapse of the Romanian Empire, most of these effects of the
buildings and facilities of scientific and literary manuscripts remain (1
), and had a great impact in the hearts of
Italians with feelings of pride the past, remained themselves eager to return to the new format.
2. Italian cities do the rulers of work Shipping and mediation between the countries of Europe and the
Far East, which led to the recovery of trade and prosperity of the Italian commercial cities, and so trade
flourished between East and West across the Mediterranean. Making the Italian cities bordering the Mediterranean
Sea is witnessing economic prosperity has helped the emergence of a rich layer seized control of Italy (2
), Italian
cities and has become a center for the transfer of heritage, culture, science and Islamic knowledge to Europe,
and thus freed from the church, and resigned her and led to an exchange of ambassadors with countries that with
which it has business relations at the time (3
).
3. Competing warlords Italian cities to spend money to encourage arts and sciences and knowledge and do
build public and private libraries and interest in the arts, sculpture, photography, architecture, benefiting from that
artists, writers and historians, materially and morally, leaving them give the best of their production. This helped to
attend a large number of scientists to Italy, especially after the fall of Constantinople, have brought with them in the
course of immigration all they could of the books of Greek and old tools as I said it, then I took each city compete
others in the collection of the best books, photographs, institutes and buildings and all that
related to the arts, reaching artistic life in Italy a high degree did not reach the

compete with each other to take care of interest in artists, writers and scientists, has led to the development of Latin
culture (1
), it became apparent in Italy that paved her Several factors have become the nucleus of this renaissance
that moved to Europe.
Renaissance transition to Western Europe:
Many factors led to the transition from Renaissance Italy to the cities of Western
Europe, and between these factors:
1. papermaking and printing: which helped to disseminate science and culture between European countries,
especially after the invention of the German scientist John Gothenburg year 854 AH / 1450 for printing animated
characters (2
), and this invention is easy to spread scientific, literary and archaeological literature among the
members of the European countries and distribution outside of Italy, and appeared translation books and literature
from Arabic into Latin (3
), and also translated the Bible into local languages; making Italy Check renaissance
because of these recent discoveries (4
).
2. The emergence of academies (scientific groups):
Academy: it is the generic name given to a group of people or an organization you upgrade Arts or Sciences or any
other area of knowledge, also called some schools, academies, and was a manifestation of Italian Renaissance
creation of scientific institutions such as academies and libraries sponsor these studies.

In the second half of the fifteenth century it spreads the Humanist Movement (following mentioned)
widespread in Florence, and was named as the era academies.
The Rome Academy was enthusiastic for academic studies and the study of the effects, and the Naples Academy has
focused on studying the literature, and also the

Academy of Venice, which called the new Academy, where studies focused on manuscripts and Greek (1
).
Taking science students from Western European countries are reluctant to universities and academies of Italy to
study at the hands of the professors Italians, has been affected by these Western Europeans thought the Italian
Renaissance, fans and the mentality of the old heritage humanists (2
).
One manifestation of the Renaissance also profound changes that have taken place in the European community,
especially the Italian society of reverence for beauty and enjoy the pleasures of life and increase the status of women
and indulging in the life of art and science.
3. Interest in the science of History and Archaeology:
The historical studies on scientific grounds, did not become aware of history just for the events listed, but relied on
the original sources, which showed the schools in historical criticism and studied the documents and cared until
being proven true or fault (3
), these studies were characterized by freedom of expression and opinion, without
regard to the Church restrictions that limit it.
4. The emergence of modern languages:
Latin was the language of science and writing in the Middle Ages that without the scientists their books, and then say
use it until it became restricted to the clergy, has baptized some writers liberated from restrictions medieval to write
the language of their people, arose in Italy, France and Spain independent accents depends on the origin Latin. And
mayors of all the language of scientists to use new phrases, even
those languages become valid for the codification of Arts and Sciences by (4

And also it originated the modern national languages in much of Europe, such as Italian, French and Spanish
language and literature spread most of these modern national languages (1
).
On the other hand it appeared in the Italian interest in the study of human history. They called the researchers of
these studies, as "humanitarian." This interest came because of the Middle Ages did not care about human beings
and mental abilities to change and creativity in all fields of life, but the interest near this man of God, and did not
have to be a group humanists of university layer, but it was mostly the general public (2). Humanists interested in
studying the ancient intellectual production, even though they did not write in Italian (3
), because they were
considered invalid national language to express their ideas, has followed this approach in writing the likes of (Dante
and Boccaccio) (4
). Humanitarian movement has appeared first appeared in Italy, and then spread to European cities
in France, Germany and the Netherlands, in order to teach people etiquette veterans and their art, and they were
asking people to be free from the stalemate in the minds, and need to find the ideas and opinions of a variety of
work on the development of human thought, and dominated the humanists in Italy - confidence in man and his
ability to change and achieve high morals (5
), humanitarian and men in their view must be creative in literature,
art and loving for expression and innovation; making European universities require professors and lecturers from
Italy to teach students
the Renaissance Italian and sciences, arts and literature (6

The Petrarch (1
) is the first leader of the movement of humanitarian work on the study of Italian literature, it has
been influenced by the literary renaissance in Italy, his views and his writings (2
).
4- Literary renaissance
Flourished Renaissance Literary since its inception, and was based on the poetry tradition of the ancients in
writing poems and spelling, and they added to their poems new addition characterized these writings as
interference pleasure and entertainment to the reader without paying attention to direction and guidance,
education, and the back of them writers in the sixteenth century, also cared for the theater interest great, so I took a
side of entertainment instead of religious plays that characterized the literature of the Middle Ages. And he became
a writer expresses his personality and character of its people.
Italians writers excelled on the writers of the other nations in the expression of beauty and art and creativity (3
).
In France a number of poets and thinkers who put the foundations and rules for writing in French has appeared, it has
been directed their attention towards creativity in prose and said stories and memoirs. Baudelaire poet wrote in
defense of the French language and their ability to express their views and ideas (4
).

In Italy, Machiavelli wrote his book "The Prince" in Italian between the need to separate religion from politics, and
in Spain interested in writers equestrian and high morals, which must be displayed by the Knight of Arts, and a
thousand Cervantes story of "Don Quixote," was the translation developed by Luther's Gospel significant
impact in the development of the German language, and in England it did not show signs of revival, but in the last
quarter of the fifteenth century, and the back of the theater diverse and full of adventures in the analysis of
human morals and printing, where he put all his plays Shakespeare novelist in English. Humanitarian movement was
profound impact on European literature, and thus contributed to the writing of national languages in the promotion

Renaissance art in Italy beautifully appeared in appearance and meaning, when he began to interest the old art
classic in the sixteenth century, and marked the art of creativity as it reflects the attention to personal their emotions,
and attention to human beings and to highlight the strength and control in all areas, and so art became a free
expression of the mentality of the artist, which showed Fine Arts, in all senses, and the artistic movement existed in
Europe (2), and what distinguishes artistic Renaissance in Italy is that the art of architecture, sculpture and painting
began to take four new directions by virtue of the influence of the revival of the ancient heritage movement, is
added to this that artistic renaissance emphasized the rights of through sculpture, painting and architecture (3

Rome was nature at the head of the Italian cities that has embraced and focused on art and artists, has helped
some popes on the flourishing artistic renaissance in Rome, and was held in that period, a group of churches,
such as St. Peter's Church penalizing decorated and decorated senior architects, painters and sculptors (4
). Patronage

).

other parts of Aruba on different dates and with varying degrees of influence this architecture.

The art of painting reached a good stage in the late middle Ages, the church was intended to serve the purposes of
and trends, and the drawing was limited to the walls of churches or palaces. In the Renaissance painters have
learned the art of oil painting and methods belonging to dyes and mix it with oil, and they took their ideas
from nature, life, and human, and were crossing in their drawings of emotions, feelings and sensations far from the
church trends and objectives.

appreciation of the human, and the first thing this afternoon in Italy, then spread to Europe in each of France,
Germany and England.
6. Scientific renaissance:
Of the most important aspects of the Italian Renaissance in the modern era of progress in the scientific method in
the search, Humanists situation where the general principles of modern scientific thought, which contributed to
the liberalization of the European human mentality of the middle Ages. Where they follow the way in the search
based on logic and experience in the analysis and development of conclusions, and became the founders of the
experimental sciences
in Europe in the modern era (5
).

The scientific method in research stands on the scientific study of the prospects for the development of scientific
and statutes in the search. And conduct scientific experiments to keep everything that does not prove his health in
these experiments, and becomes the basis of scientific theories and this becomes all scientific theories are correct if
you do not prove reversible, and become adjustable and change according to the application prove the validity
of (1
).
Arab scholars have adopted it, and this led to the modern scientific renaissance that ended in them to reach for a lot
of science such as algebra and astronomy, the invention of precision machining, and also studied medicine, chemistry
and light.
It is therefore clear that the scientists were interested in great interest in the scientific and intellectual life is
different from what prevailed in the Middle Ages, no longer interest in science and the arts, knowledge and
keep the heritage of scientific, intellectual and humanitarian limited to churches and monasteries, but changed
things and evolved as a result of mixing between civilizations and cultures of the Mediterranean as a result of the
intellectual influence and science in Europe, and thanks to the transfer of Arabs from science to them, and took the
people studying this science of knowledge (2
) helped by the emergence of universities (3
) in Italy and Paris, and
started the idea of the university meeting the students about their teachers to receive the flag, and the students were
moved from one place to another in order to seek knowledge, even universities were established and became a stable
for them, has taken the Kings issuing decisions to establish universities, and the
provision of funds and facilities for it, encouraged to seek knowledge, and established in this way both
from the faculties of arts, and the study of law sciences, and colleges for the study of religion (1
).

Translated in European Renaissance many of the books of the Arabs, and proceeded European universities on this
experimental scientific method, and thanks to (Sir Francis Bacon), who appeared in Britain in the sixteenth century,
and a thousand of his famous book (the new administration) which explained the study method and thinking based
on the viewing information gathering and collation order, and work experiences, scientific theories and study results
in order to reach scientific truth on the basis of the experimental method or scientific (2
), it has led to progress in
all science and human knowledge. This was evident in the universities, English and landmarks, because it is the
right place to research and scientific experiments The
theories of factories and industries were always heading for application in factories, while Germany was labs
factories linked and become the right place for scientific experiments at the time (3
), has encouraged scientific and
intellectual progress made by the European Communities on further progress in knowledge, exchange and spread
among them.
Most scholars of the Renaissance was belong to that school and are interested in the achievement of scientific
theories and description of nature a new description based on observation and Mathematical Sciences (4
).
There were theories to explain the universe, the world of Poland announced (Copernicus) theory that denied the
church's belief that the earth is fixed, and form the center of the universe, confirmed the Italian (Nicola
Machiavelli) theory (Copernicus) and proved that the Earth's circular motion like the other planets, and it revolves
around the sun, and rejected Church all these theories. And it appeared in the sixteenth century renaissance also
in natural science (physics), mathematics, natural and experimental science, legislation (5
).
It also provides medicine and began to doctors practicing anatomy, despite opposition from the church enabling
Belgian (André Visar) depending on the anatomy of a description of the members of the human body, and
discovered the Spanish (Mikel Servat) micro-circulation, and developed the French (Onbroaz Barry) surgeries
to stop the bloodshed. And actually this has been proved by scientific experiments in the Renaissance. As a
result of this development and progress in the Renaissance it became possible to change the damaged human
organs and overcome many diseases and vaccination against viruses (1
).

Manifestations of the Renaissance in Europe:
Renaissance intellectual, scientific and artistic manifestations have produced new ideas had a great influence in
the formation of the European human taste and intellect, which included all fields, including even the religious
field (2

European Renaissance and appeared in various manifestations of European countries, including:
A. European Renaissance in Germany:
The general character of the renaissance in Germany is to call for religious reform, and did not pay attention to
science and knowledge, art and beauty and morality prevailing at the time (1
).
B. European Renaissance in France:
Different from Germany, but was the Renaissance in France renaissance scientific encouraged Sciences, Arts and
Letters, and also different from the scientific renaissance in Italy; because Italy has followed traditionally all found
manuscripts Greek, Romanian and ancient manuscripts, while France has been able to combine ancient and modern
science of science, and months kings who encouraged science and scientists King Francois I (2
) (900-999h / 1494-
1590), who created the College of France, and is considered one of the most important achievements proud
of France, launched on (Francois I) father of Arts (3
).
C. the Belgian and Dutch Renaissance:
Erasmus (4
) 1467-1536, interested in studying the ancient sciences, literature and studied Latin and Greek
languages, and wrote several books in the Latin language, and is characterized by the beauty of the style, and he
felt of the defects of church and sees the need to reform it (1

D. the European Renaissance in England:
The European Renaissance reached to England late because of their wars against France, but came out a group of
students from England heading for Italy and took the flag them, and then returned back to England for the
deployment of this science and knowledge (2
), and also published their opinions in (Oxford University) fired them
name (repairers Oxford), and also it emerged (Cambridge University), and spread literature (Shakespeare), and this is
the best proof of this science publishing, and the Renaissance in England reached its peak in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries (3
).
E. the Renaissance in Spain:
Spain stood hostile to human studies because of the intolerance of the doctrine of the Catholic kings (4
).
Movement geographical discoveries:
The geographical discoveries as a result of the outcome of the European Renaissance and scientific progress
in the fifteenth century, and the most important of these discoveries, the discovery of the way from Europe to India
by sea, about Africa (Cape of Good Hope) in 1498, and the discovery of the New World in 1492 (5). The reason
for this is that geographic information with a few Europeans, and most of them false information about areas in Asia
and Africa, and navigation in the South Atlantic, as well as information on the land was their knowledge over their
country that surround the Mediterranean Sea, it has relied on traders Italians, who
frequent the ports of the Levant and Egypt in order to trade (6
).

The Muslims have translated the Greeks Science and added them, a nd leaked this science to Europe, and also
move the Europeans on their astrolabe that will help trade to know the distances and directions between countries,
as they took their compass, and this encouraged navigators ride on the sea, then elevated geograph y and maps that
have become certain of seafarers in the maritime journeys (1
).
Thus, Portugal managed to achieve linking Asia to Europe for a new route, paved the way for the Portuguese to
control the Far East trade, which was, however, the Muslim south of the Arabian Peninsula and the west and the
Gulf of, and the trade routes of land and sea stretching from India to (of Hormuz) and the highest of the Arabian
Gulf and rivers Tigris and Euphrates and then moving to cities in the Levant, and the second way through
the Red Sea, where Aden and the Red Sea, Egypt and the Suez Canal and then transported to Europe (2
). The wild,
rugged path which was dominated by the Ottomans after the conquest of Constantinople, which was stretching
across Central Asia until Anatolia, it was the Europeans depend on it
for their trade with the East, if there is political unrest in along the trade routes in the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea areas
(3
) . The Arabs then distribute the Middle East and Aruba and the coast of East Africa products in the Indian Ocean
ports (4
).
The Italian ships carrying goods from Egypt and the ports of the Levant (Sham) to the Italian cities, and
distributed in various European markets, and it was all Western Europe's population in need of the Eastern
goods such as spices, such as: cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, Arabic perfumes, such as musk, amber, water Roses,
and others. The Indian drugs, such as opium, and eucalyptus, gum and they use them in the preparation of the
drug, and there are also other items such as rugs, silk, coffee and others.
Italy became a center for trade in the world and made famous among European countries, and helped by its
geographical location in the middle of the

Mediterranean, bringing the superiority of the Italians on the other European countries.
Italy became a commercial mediator between East and West, and established trade relations with everyone, and
formed the Italian coastal cities such as Pisa and Genoa and Venice, and also formed commercial companies that
transport goods to Eastern Europe. Thus, Italy has specialized in bringing all goods from Muslim countries to
Europe, and they have access to these goods by gold and silver coins, or by swapping those goods to
certain raw materials, such as linen, wool leather and fur, which bear to Italy for the Italians to convert those raw
materials great products to return them to the east to be trade exchange between them (1
).
This has resulted in a wide financial movement in this area led to the banks the establishment; to help business deals
between the various countries of the world in different currencies, and traders may Italians profit from this business
transaction profits and a lot of money, so they were lend popes and princes they need money, they bought best what
artists do of works of art and fees are rare, then painted with oil represents mankind pictures developed in
conformity with the reality, and they are getting help in its rulings in some science made in the Renaissance
mathematics to help them at the expense of drawing the foreseeable rules, and anatomist, came
their pictures depiction of reality (2

The Venice of the most important commercial cities, famous for riches and wealth, which is considered one of the
most important distribution of spices and Eastern merchandise trade centers, while Florence was the center for the
manufacture of silk and wool president.
The cities of southern France near the Italian commercial cities and the cities of Germany, a close business
relationship, and expanded this business relationship until the cities included in the north of Europe, bringing the
rivalry between Italian cities and insisted all of them on independence from its neighbors and not subject to other
state or acceding to it. So five Italian states managed of that is growing and developing itself to become centers of
power to decide the fate of Italy, namely:
Naples, Milan, Genoa, Venice, and Florence (3
).

Italy was enjoying economic prosperity in their mandates, the love of Sciences, Arts and Letters, which made it Italy
radiation European Renaissance Center, because of what they took from the civilizations of Nations oldest of them,
and have increased their wealth, and led to encourage scientists to take the rare books and paintings at the time, and
established museums Also, they have objectives such as the dissemination of culture and knowledge through the
presentation of various holdings, and led to a love of Europeans for the ancient civilizations such as Greek
Romanian civilization, became the museum one of the important centers to understand the cultures and science and
knowledge and ancient arts, and make use of them without affecting the Middle Ages. So we can say that
the geographic statements are the face Shining European renaissance (1
).
Portugal has realized that it cannot cancel the Islamic mediation in the Middle trade, but to participate in those profits
as it passes through Islamic lands because they fetch them huge profits (2
).
So the thought of the Portuguese in the search for another road connects them to the country of India, to be able to
control the trade and get the business benefits and strengthen the political and economic status, as well as weaken the
Muslims.
Muslim countries were either Ottoman or the Mamluk State in Egypt and the Levant and the Hijaz impose tariffs on
products when in transit in its territory, and with the high fees imposed on goods led to higher prices. But the
European need these products, therefore the demand increased and prices have increased (3
). It was in front of
the European one of two things, either to accept the job buys goods of high prices, or looking for another way to get
these products out of the control of the Muslims who were prevented from reaching the European places produced
in the Far East.
Is likely to be the reason that the Muslims prevented the Europeans from reaching their places of their production so
as not to interfere in the affairs of the region and try to change the system of the Islamic faith in areas that
experienced by the goods, they follow the Europeans Muslims remnants in the northern coast of Africa,
especially after the elimination of them in Andalusia. Imagine the Europeans over the riches if imported
products away from the Muslims. The people of Genoa believed that it is possible to reach West Africa
and grab the gold, was Genoa prepared a campaign for rotation about Africa, but collapsed in the
fourteenth century, as a result of the political conflict, military and economic with the gun, and at the same time,
Portugal and Spain had been able to turn around Africa After the elimination of Muslims in Granada in Andalusia
and fall into their own hands.

Overall European countries (1
) has been a long time to consider the Asian continent as a primary source and head
for the supply of sugar and spices, ivory, silk and precious metals.
Portugal is characterized by long coastline to its geographical location on the Atlantic Ocean, and its contacts
with the business relationship with the Middle commercial cities, in addition to the progress of the Portuguese
in the a rt of navigation, which made them able to do the movement of geographic statements (2
).
It began the Portuguese think in the prices of high commercial goods imposed by the Mamluks and traders
Venice, which, because of the remoteness of their country for markets Italy, if they discovered a way not crosses
lands of the Muslims, it will give them many profits becomes for them a high place among the European
countries and have a leading role in the discovery of this road. And were able to
open a sea route around Africa to India, which is the Cape of Good Hope (3
).
Portugal is a country that is the Navy was able to get as much as possible of the Islamic heritage in Spain, and the
efforts of Muslim scholars in marine navigation and astronomy and the field of trade, industry and ships (4
), also got
rid of the myths and legends that were overshadowed by the marine sciences. And they began
working in the Middle trade, and compared the prices of spices in the western coast

of India, and between market prices in Alexandria (1
). Cheap Indian goods prices in original sources push them to
begin applying monopolies and deprive the Islamic forces to participate in this trade policy after their knowledge of
the profits that were generated by this trade, and offered such goods in Portugal markets at cheap prices, traders
Europeans to have attracted, and achieved the Portuguese very huge profits (2). Also suffered damage trades Muslims
have also inflicted the trade in cities and commercial centers, Italian, and this are the conclusion of the golden age of
Islamic and Italian navigation.
